Fulfilled Prophecy: A Potent Argument for the Inspiration of the Bible

Overview

The Bible alone, says Gaebelein, contains predictions, making it markedly different from the sacred books belonging to other religions, which make no such prophetic claims. Gaebelein finds it condemnable that the church neglects and even denies prophecy, and does little to encourage prophetic understanding. Gaebelein shows how divine revelation intersects with history in the form of prophecy—both predicted and fulfilled—and history bears testimony to the work of God. To deny the authenticity of prophecy effectively denies the tenability of its fulfillment, diminishing the importance of fulfilled prophecy—the return to Israel, the promised Messiah, the spread of the church, the second coming of Christ. Fulfilled Prophecy: A Potent Argument for the Inspiration of the Bible attempts to revisit central biblical prophecies and discern their fulfillment in the present era.
